Woodpile

Winter woodpile work! Last summer good friends Mark and Kristine came from America to visit--and help. We cut up dead wood from the woods for our sister friends to use in their wood-burning stoves on cold winter days. I love the maul or an axe more than the chainsaw.

Notice the Y-shaped branch in my hand. Ha, should have saved that for the coming Y Wednesday.
Woodpile is now well-stocked. What fun it is to work with wood!

  3. I'll take a maul over a chainsaw anyday Dina..
    Once had some visitors, kids from Japan at a farm where i lived, and everyday after sight seeing, they came back to chop wood with sweet abandon. I dare say, it it was the biggest treat, unexpected, and joyously experienced.
    One little girl was so tiny, it almost took her over backwards.
    Looks like you know your way around a 'W'oodpile..!

  7. That's quite and ambitious project. Not sure why, but I've always imagined Jerusalem being quite warm year 'round. Apparently I'm mistaken. Very impressive pose with the maul :)
